[b]Korax, First Officer[/b]

As events transpired Korax was calm, deliberative. It issued orders when the Captain was distracted with the main business of their exploration, and made sure there was a steady hand. That was its job after all, though there was not much to do as they passed through the wormhole.

But on the other side things soon became complicated. A vessel approached, citing some kind of spiritualist text with regards to their arrival. That was strange, but at least Korax was not alone in thinking so.

The arrival of the large ship was more surprising, both in its size and the technology with which it was equipped. It understood the Captain's orders to follow the vessel, especially since there had not been any attempts of violence or threats against them. Until that occurred, it was sensible to address things in a diplomatic manner. This species did not seem particularly aggressive anyways, perhaps aside from the size of their ships.

Now they merely had to prepare a delegation to meet with a spiritualist figurehead. As far as Korax was aware this was in the rulebook prepared by the Alliance, so it should be a simple task. 

Nonetheless they had gathered in the meeting room. Korax was silent as the Captain laid out the situation, and asked for volunteers. The Lifebringers talk of planetary chakra was merely confusing, but the rest of the suggestions were more sensible. Of course, if the Captain was going to go and speak with the Vel, it would remain on the ship. There were no other pressing matters, and someone with command experience would have to remain in case an emergency did arise. 

"It is unclear if their 'Vel' figure has predicted these travelers to be hostile. Context appears to indicate that is not the case, as they have not resorted to force or surrender. There is a strong probability they will request aid with some matter of importance," Korax observed as he looked to the Captain. "This one would be wary of involving the [i]Prize[/i] in a conflict that is beyond the current scope of the Alliance's understanding."
